.... but as mojo said, its no problem to do so

You guys are lovely

Thanks!

Hi Admin blokes,

We at FUBAR Racing would really like to have a wee saltire against our team instead of the union jack.

I understand the tracker is the issue here.

Is it really a major fix (you're speaking to a total technophobe here :tilt because if not it really would be much appreciated

[SCO]

??

Cheers

Quote from Timdpr :

We did that 3 times!

If you're trying to make me feel better, it worked

Went much better than expected tbh

I went off first after a good quali drive by SabersKunk. Made a few errors but kept the thing on track and managed to hit some kind of consistency during the second half of my hour stint.

However, it is here it all went t!ts up
I mader a total ar$e of the pit stop and managed not to change driver. Drove round for one lap in a flap before pulling back in again to change driver (and tyres again, for good measure...). This gargantuan f*ck up cost us easily 1min+, so sorry once again team, we might have made top ten without that.

Proper driving by my team mates SabersKunk and Turbo Dad Thanks for getting us some credibility back lads!

Well done to the podium finishers (and indeed all those who managed to finish, not the easiest of tasks :schwitz.

Remarkably clean race for us too. Only one potential report during quali (decided against it) and nothing really untoward during the race. Guess we were lucky (13th!) huh

Stroll on SO4R, should be a giggle!

Quote from SparkyDave :

Some great reading in this thread
Not all "fast drivers" are bad drivers, some will be and others arn't however everyone makes mistakes too.

IMO when making a pass or being passed its BOTH drivers responsibility to not contact the other, most of the time the position
should be yeilded before the apex anyway as the driver being passed
should know it by then.

In a way we have to drive together and against one another to have a good clean race
Some faster and slower drivers fail to respect that they are in a group sport, and don't
need to be right at the edge of the envelope all the time.

SD.

Oi, less of the sensible replies

I suspect, erm I mean I know, the word 'yield' does not compute with a fair number of drivers out there. Too much of a win at any cost mentality.

Quote from trebor901 :

to be honest with all these negative threads that have appeared over the past few months, i wouldnt be surprised if the racers had lost some motivation due to the tectonic plate speed of the game development .

That reads a bit truer to me

Quote from CSF :

What? Would be nice of the admins to actually pay attention sometimes...

Or responded to a polite and structured post......

A small appeal if I may?

Duely picked up and slapped in the face (in a slightly foppish duelling manner from ye olden days).

Quote from Driver 8 :

Sometimes this works but most of the time I'm just rear ended by players who think they're on a hotlap with no other cars about.

Happy Racing (I mean hotlapping....)

You're not wrong matey. Theres many a fast driver out there, but fast racers are a different and much rarer breed.

Also, why would I give $1000 away?

Brilliant, hilarious and mind blowingly ironic. Thanks for cheering up a nasty day at work

Must remember this post when the forum awards come round.

Worra fud.

Oh and btw, these are proper cookies

Quote from NickC :

Amazing job.

Congrats!

Indeed, well done that man, helluva good laps.

Right Bawbag, pick up that gauntlet

I love the way Menu thrashes the ar$e off that Chevy, no matter where he happens to find himself on the grid. Great driver

Quote from obsolum :

Normally we don't pm the password to people. Instead we kindly ask people to register on the DMR forum, where you can find the password in a designated thread But, we'll let it slide just this once

Had joined the forum last night, but because I had literally just joined I could not access the password thread. Should be fine for next week

Quote from DratsaB :

Glad you could make it Rooster, had a nice bit of a race with you between pit stops, too quick for me though , good race.

Aye, that was a nice few laps with yourself in front, me behind and another dmr chappie following me. Only reason I was quicker at the time was low fuel, didn't stop until about the 45min mark.

A pleasure to able to concentrate properly on driving and not worry about being hit left, right and centre

Glad I did

A cracking good race, nice driving all

Right good fun starting from the back of the grid as I missed qualifying but just made it in time for the race.

Looking forward to next weeks selection.

Thanks for letting me in to take part, appreciated!

Hi,

Any chance of somebody PM'ing me the password so I can join tonights race?

Thanks

Lol. I wonder what additives they'll need to add to make this work

Quote from Dru :

Can not wait for the next 2 Hour event - where's the sign up then hey :P

GT2's on Aston Historic - sounds good

Agreed

Heres hoping I remember to find the sign up thread in time.

If its half as good as the Easter event we'll all be laughing

Just get yourself towards the front of the grid, its pretty clean up there

Quote from Logicalx :

Yet you fail to see that not all friend and family are always close by......

Erm, no I'm not that stupid.

Classic

Mind you he probably got out the cockpit, flipped open his wallet and paid for the damage in hard cash

Quote from HVS5b :

Notwithstanding that, I'll be there for a practice cos it is a good idea

Actually no I wont. Got a wedding to attend so wont make this event or the race. Will speak to my team mates to see what their thoughts are.

Quote from Doorman :

Try Dead Men Racing. Different combo every week. Good, clean racing always an admin on board to protect you from numpties (assuming you're not a numpty yourself!)
End of commercial break.

Might just to that. Well so long as you don't mean numpty = slow

Tried some of the other TBO servers but tbh all that was missing was Dick Dastardly and the SS cars don't do much for me atm so maybe it would be good to get back into them.
